Please note that this is one of several ideas designed to reinforce and profit from popular superstitions, for example a ladder that squirts paint when walked beneith. The broken mirror that generates seven years of bad luck is also technically possible but more challenging.

mole, I'm not out to be the bitch of New England, but I still think this borders on "magic", and/or existing ploys applicance stores here, atleast, do.

Pay now, take home for 30 days, try it out, blah...etc.

I get what you are saying, but it sort of reminds me of when, a long time ago, there were many ideas about "extra holidays", etc. Is that not the same thing you are wanting? Extra this, extra that, to ensure that bad things don't happen. If you change the date from 31 days to 32, what makes you think that the laws of the universe won't suddenly change to fit the theory of day 33?

There have been a few times where an item of mine had a problem a couple of days outside of the warranty and they fixed it anyway. I think that manufacturers will honor their warranty if it falls within a reasonable time frame after the expiration. I am sure that a week or two after is not a problem but 3 to 4 months after might be. So I would bun this from the perspective of it being a big money maker to the seller. But then again I would bone it for the lack of value to the consumer. My vote- Neutral.

Hey, all you have to do is "make sure" that
your gadget busts on that day. <smirk/
smile/whatever> Maybe, get the warranty
for a day when you know that your roudy
nephews are coming to town and they just
love to "throw things around", randomly of
course.
